When I bought my 3D Prophet II GTS 32MB last August, it cost me £250 and for that, I expected to be blown away by its performance, and I was. It’s a seriously powerful card. Nowadays, though, it’s certainly not king of the hill, with the GTS Ultra and GeForce3 outperforming it, but those are £350-£400 cards even today. I think the GTS is an excellent card for modern gaming. Today, I think you’d have problems finding a 32MB GTS for sale, but I think you could get a 64MB GTS for about £140-£170. The GTS’s nearest competitor from a different brand is ATI’s Radeon. The Radeon 64MB DDR costs about £130. So I suppose the point of this ...  Read the complete review

I have used Hercules cards for a while now and have to say that I like them. But this card has been a REAL disappointment. Having paid 300 for it I expected little to no trouble. After following their installation instructions, things seems okay at start up. However, when I switched my resolution to 1600x1200 (like I had been using with my TNT card), I lost video signal from the card. I have followed all of the website driver and BIOS update instructions and still have had no luck. I have played QuakeIII and UT and they seem a little better (not £300 better...), but Vampire is almost unplayable with more than a few characters on the screen. And Everquest won't even ..  Read the complete review

Powered by NVIDIA’s GeForce2 GTS chipset, the 3D Prophet II GTS 64MB card is the most innovative 3D graphics accelerator ever. Futuristic DDR RAM offers unimaginable speed and 3D performance. Visionary DVI-Out ensures high-resolution display and incredible sharpness, and provides the best connection for the flat-panel, LCD and digital displays over and above normal VGA displays. Includes TV-Out and DVD-Video Playback software.The card is a step in the right direction, even tho it costs a bundle...the two of you saying that voodoo5 6000 and rage fury maxx are better just because of ram amounts are idiots...dont you know each chip on both has 32 megs of ram? So that .  Read the complete review

Well folks, time to tell you about my newest and most expensive piece of hardware. It's called the hercules 3D prophet II GTS 64MB, Yep a long name, but then for £263, I want a piece of hardware that sounds impressive. Now being a cheap kind of guy by nature, I dont usualy buy the latest, greatest hardware as soon as it comes out, but when I buy something myself I do tend to get the best, partly because it has a tendency to last / remain fast for longer. This card, although a bitch to set up (on some systems, many people have no trouble, and this is partly because its a new, expensive piece of kit that needs bug's ironing out) kicks ass. At the time of writing ...  Read the complete review
